Title: Google Sites Email From Frank
Post by: SlowOldGuy on April 05, 2010, 02:42:29 PM
Hey Frank,
I keep getting emails from racerx654 containing a link to something called sites.google.com/...

Is this something from you, or is this spam, or a virus, or ???

david,

i've been getting them too.  racerx654@aol.com

wasn't that someone on the old netpath list's email address?  i couldn't find it in my gmail account, but it seems familiar.  i've gotten three of them.  i think when i clicked on the link in the first email, it took me to some porn or other inappropriate site.  i'm still checking it out.  hah.

no, really, doesn't that email address look familiar?

Beware of those links.  There's a new virus/malware thing going around that propagates through the social networking sites then steals your address book(s).

From there they send messages to everyone on your address book.

If you clicked the link do a spyware/malware scan, virus scan then change all your passwords.  It may take several different anti-malware programs to find everything.

Malwarebytes and "spy-bot search and destroy" are a couple of good ones.  Be sure to run their update programs until you are told you have the latest version of everything.
